Question

PLZ HURRY! TIMED QUIZ

Read this excerpt from Henry Ford’s autobiography, My Life and Work.

It was life on the farm that drove me into devising ways and means to better transportation. I was born on July 30, 1863, on a farm at Dearborn, Michigan, and my earliest recollection is that, considering the results, there was too much work on the place. That is the way I still feel about farming. There is a legend that my parents were very poor and that the early days were hard ones. Certainly they were not rich, but neither were they poor. As Michigan farmers went, we were prosperous. The house in which I was born is still standing, and it and the farm are part of my present holding.

Which is the best source to use to confirm the information in this excerpt?

a----a travel brochure about Dearborn, Michigan
b----a book about American farming in the 1800s
c----a website providing a timeline of Ford’s life
d----a magazine article about the Ford Motor Corporation

Answer 1

I would think the answer was B but I’m not entirely sure.

Hope this helps

Answer 2

I believe that the best answer to the question: Which is the best source to use to confirm the information in this excerpt, would be: C: a website providing a timeline of Ford´s life.

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason is that a timeline is used as a means to plot, within time, events that were important on the history of a place, or a person, in chronological order. Because this bit of information relates the timeframe of Ford´s childhood moments, the best place to read about this particular event in Ford´s life would be on a timeline, and not any other source.
